Why didn t Tsarist Russia establish an overseas colonial system like Britain and France?

Because the biggest problem if you want to establish an overseas colonial system is whether you have a strong navy, and Tsarist Russia does not have a strong naval industry, so it can only find a way on land, and he has a lot of land to expand on land.

Tsarist Russia did not establish an overseas colonial system because their ships could not sail, because the only ocean in Tsarist Russia at that time was the Arctic Ocean, and there were a large number of glaciers in the Arctic Ocean, and ships at that time could not sail out at all.

Because of the geographical location of Tsarist Russia, which is located in the interior of the Eurasian continent, there is no outlet to the sea, and the containment of Tsarist Russia by European powers such as Britain, France and Germany, Tsarist Russia has not been able to establish an overseas colonial system.

Unable to establish a huge Respect Colony, the first point is that the whole process of it is not so smooth, the second point, he does not have such a big strength to control the Qi Draft, and the third point is that there are still many bad things in the management of some countries that he is secretly related to.

First, there is no convenient access to the sea. As we all know, Tsarist Russia is located in Eastern Europe, except for the Arctic Ocean, which has an extremely cold climate in the Arctic Circle, there are almost no ice-free ports to go to sea, and later although it took a lot of effort to get the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea estuary, but these two estuaries are far from the Atlantic Ocean, and they need to pass through the territorial waters of many countries before arriving at the ocean. The second is the national character of encroachment and annexation.

Sweden, Poland, the Ottoman Empire, Persia, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty were all victims of Tsarist Russia's expansion. Tsarist Russia's character of occupation and annexation has increasingly attracted the attention and uneasiness of the old European powers.

It's because Tsarist Russia's ** is too cowardly to dare to do this or that, so it was robbed by others.

Because at that time, Tsarist Russia mainly focused on land, did not have a strong navy, and was in a very weak position in the development of naval forces, and was still very backward in terms of equipment. Moreover, in the later period, after the Second Industrial Revolution, because Tsarist Russia at that time focused on land hegemony, it ignored the power of the sea, and when Tsarist Russia wanted to compete for overseas colonies in the later period, it found that it had already been carved up by Britain and France.

1. Lack of access to the sea.

At that time, Tsarist Russia, as a land hegemon, occupied many land countries, but when it was colonizing and expanding, because it had always expanded on land, it did not realize the importance of overseas colonies for Tsarist Russia. Later, with the advent of the Age of Discovery, Tsarist Russia at that time woke up and saw that Britain and France and other countries had gained great benefits through the expansion of overseas colonies, so they wanted to expand overseas.

However, due to the geographical location, Tsarist Russia at that time did not have access to the sea. Moreover, although Tsarist Russia is the land hegemon, its maritime military strength is very weak. The strength in the ** is very backward.

Moreover, in order to find an outlet to the sea, Tsarist Russia had to continue to carry out colonial expansion.

Although Tsarist Russia occupied the Baltic Sea at that time, because the Baltic Sea was only an inland sea, there was a great distance from the Atlantic Ocean, and there were many straits in between, so Tsarist Russia at that time wanted to find an outlet to the sea again.

Second, Tsarist Russia was more fond of expansion.

Although Tsarist Russia at that time continued to carry out colonial expansion in order to find an outlet to the sea, it eventually made Tsarist Russia the great power with the most territory. It's just that during the expansion period, although it has always wanted to find an outlet to the sea, the maritime military strength of Tsarist Russia during this period has always been in a state of stagnation, and even in a relatively backward stage.

Third, the industrial base is weak and the military forces at sea are backward.

Although Tsarist Russia was the largest country on land at that time, its power at sea was very weak. And due to the development of the Industrial Revolution, many European countries at that time had their economies developing rapidly because of the development of the Industrial Revolution. However, Tsarist Russia did not attach importance to the construction of the navy.

Because the strength of Tsarist Russia at that time was very weak, not comparable to Britain and France and other countries at all, and the naval strength was also very weak.

Terrain restrictions. Tsarist Russia's long land borders, which radiate almost the entire Asian continent, have no time to fight overseas.

Because Tsarist Russia was looking at abundant resources at that time, and their population was small, there were not enough people to establish colonies overseas.

I think it's because the Russians were fighting everywhere to plunder resources, they didn't want to invade other countries, and many times they didn't want to expand their overseas colonies, because it was very difficult to manage.

Because Tsarist Russia did not go to colonization, he expanded his territory in a different direction, and the result was different.

Because they don't have that kind of conditions, they don't have a very wide shipping route, and some of them are also in the Arctic Ocean, and there is no way to open it to regular navigation.

This was because Tsarist Russia was still a feudal society at that time, and the main purpose of their occupation of land was to expand its territory, not to colonize and plunder.

Because the territory of Tsarist Russia at that time was already very extensive, there was no need to establish colonies and expand its territory, so it was not like Britain and France.

On the one hand, it is caused by the domestic physique, although Tsarist Russia is strong, but it implements serfdom and oppresses the people, and there are actually many contradictions in the country; On the other hand, this is also due to the geographical location, the south is China, which was also strong in ancient times, and the west of the network is Europe, and there are also powerful countries.

From the map, we can see that the navy of Tsarist Russia was not strong, and they did not seek to occupy land far from the mainland, but relied on the army to constantly expand their territory.

The main reason was that it did not have a huge naval strength, and the naval battle was also lost to the Japanese navy, which was not strong at that time, so it could not provide security for overseas colonies.

Because the modern tsars were relatively shallow in their knowledge, they only suggested colonies in a few places, but did not attach importance to colonies and aimed to expand the surrounding territories.

Tsarist Russia was only a system built by the small Muscovy principality.
